San Bernardino National Forest Association |
This group successfully operates a series of lookouts northeast of L.A. in the summer months with volunteers. They have redefined the purpose and future for the lookouts in the area. Not only are the LO's used to watch for fire, they serve as interpretive centers for the occasional visitor. Because of the proximity to the LA population the sites and buildings are easily vandalized, the SBNFA has united the concerned citizens into a formidable organization. This "people caring for Their forest" organization will undoubtedly be the example for many other forests throughout the land.

Sand Mountain Society |
A group of concerned individuals in North West Oregon. Their major contribution has been the restoration of many LO's in Region 6. The most notable is Sand Mountain, NHLR #001, which was reconstructed in 1989 by private money and labor and is mostly comprised of parts from the LO which was on Whisky Peak, Crater N.F. Sand Mountain is manned with live in volunteer lookouts throughout the summer months. The acting volunteer serves as lookout, caretaker and interpreter to the constant flow of visitors.
